	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 919, as introduced, Hollingsworth. Public retirement: social
security.
   The Board of Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement
system is required, upon application by a public agency, as defined,
to execute an agreement with the federal government for the coverage
of the public employees of the agency under the federal Social
Security Act in conformity with specified regulations.
   Existing law expresses the Legislature's policy that protection
afforded to employees in positions covered by a public retirement
system on the date that an agreement for coverage for those employees
under the federal Social Security Act is made applicable to the
service performed, or to the benefits received, under the retirement
system and that those protections are not impaired as a result of the
agreement or as a result of a legislative enactment made in
anticipation of the agreement.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that
provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
